Osborne

• Osborne represents the soldiers who sign up for the war effort despite being too old for conscription.
• Osborne's tragedy is dieing for his friends.
• Osborne represents Stanhope's loyalty and represents a father, son relationship between the two
• "Think of it all as -as romantic"— Osborne doesn't want him to be like Stanhope
